Charles Oakley is challenging First Deputy Mayor Randy Mastro's involvement in his 2017 ejection case from Madison Square Garden, alleging a conflict of interest. Oakley's attorney argues that Mastro's legal representation breaches public ethics rules since he's involved with an arena receiving significant city tax breaks. Although Mastro withdrew from other city matters and claimed to represent MSG in an unofficial capacity, Oakley's team contends he still needs a waiver for dual roles. The city's ethics board reportedly deemed no waiver necessary for now, prompting ongoing legal disputes.
Mastro's participation raises ethical concerns due to his dual role as a city official and a private attorney, potentially breaching public trust and ethics rules.
The city's ethics board reportedly approved Mastro's arrangement, although Oakley's legal team contends the requirements for a waiver for private work haven't been met.
